Effect of fire on water repellency, amount and factors of soil erosion in forests of southwest coast of the Caspian Sea [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2017 Studying the effect of fire on hydrological properties, soil and surface features is important and essential to develop the methods preventing soil erosion for sustainable management of lands and water resources. In compartments within the study area, 15

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2016 The biological soil crusts (BSCs) in the NW Negev cause local water redistribution by increasing surface runoff. The effects of pore clogging and swelling of organic and inorganic crust components were intensively investigated in earlier studies. However,

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.This review analyzes single/combined abiotic (light, water, nutrients, hormones) and biotic (microbes, yeast) elicitors regulating signaling, gene expression, and metabolism to boost plant secondary metabolites. It highlights synergistic multielicitor strategies for crop quality and functional foods, while critically addressing current limitations and ...

Subcritical water repellency of aggregates from a range of soil management practices
, 2001 Subcritical water repellency is a poorly acknowledged physical property of soil. It refers to soil where water uptake appears to occur readily, get is impeded to some extent by the presence of hydrophobic surface films.

Soil water repellency in north-eastern Greece with adverse effects of drying on the persistence
, 2005 Many soils may be water repellent to some degree, challenging the common perception that soil water repellency is only an interesting aberration. When dry, water repellent soils resist or retard water infiltration into the soil matrix.

Surfactant longevity and wetting characteristics
California Agriculture, 1969 OBSERVATIONS of water repellency in soils made over the past 10 years throughout the world have indicated that this particular problem is more important than had previously been thought.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7123-7136, July 2026.Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 4, July/August 2026.Abstract One of the most widely used techniques to measure the unfrozen water content of cryotic soils is to monitor their apparent dielectric permittivity. Paired with an empirical calibration equation or a dielectric mixing model, this measurement, εeff$\varepsilon _{\text{eff}}$, gives an estimate of unfrozen water content in soils.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.
